Where to Get Ice Cream at Disney World


I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Who doesn’t love ice cream?! The Disney World Resort has so many places to stop and get a sweet, frozen treat. Today we have for you a list, with brief descriptions, of all of the locations around Disney World to get your hands on some delicious ice cream.


Magic Kingdoms
Plaza Ice Cream Parlor – Step back in time to the simple times that Main Street U.S.A. represents and enjoy a sweet treat with a beautiful view! The Plaza Ice Cream Parlor offers cups and cones of a variety of flavors of ice cream and sorbet, as well as sundaes, and ice cream sandwiches! You can’t go wrong with any of the options here, but our favorites are the All-American Sundae (chocolate and peanut butter – yum!) and a Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich!

Plaza Restaurant – Enjoy a delicious sit down meal at the Plaza Restaurant and finish it off with a mouthwatering dessert from the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor next door! We think that the perfect end to any meal here is the Brownie Sundae!  

Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies – Take a break from the busy land of tomorrow for a cool treat from Auntie Gravity’s! Soft serve, ice cream floats, sundaes, smoothies and milkshakes are on the menu here. Our favorites here include a Fanta Float and a Vanilla Soft Serve Cone. 

Sleepy Hollow – You’ve probably passed this location while in Liberty Square without even knowing it. Stop by on your next visit for a Churro Ice Cream Sandwich with a gorgeous view of the castle!

Aloha Isle – Aloha Isle is all about pineapple and if you’re a pineapple lover like us you’ll be happy you stopped by for a Dole Whip! The pineapple soft serve is available by itself, as part of a Dole Whip Float with pineapple juice, or onto of a Pineapple Upside Down Cake!

Epcot
L’Artisan des Glaces – Ice cream and sorbet in a cup or cone, macaron ice cream sandwiches, pressed brioche ice cream sandwiches, iced cappuccinos with ice cream, and ice cream martinis await you in the picture perfect setting of the France Pavilion. The Caramel Fleur de Sel is our favorite!

Gelati – Enjoy Italy’s version of ice cream at Gelati in the Italy Pavilion. The menu here features gelato in a cup of cone, gelato ice cream sandwiches, gelato sundaes, “Affagato,” and other Italian treats and beverages.

Via Napoli – No meal at Via Napoli is complete without dessert. And as a pizzeria and restaurant in the Italy Pavilion it offers amazing Italian desserts including gelato, Italian ice cream sodas, and a gelato sundae. The gelato sundae, Coppa di Bruitti Ma Bouni “Ugly But Good” is our favorite.

Water Parks
Happy Landings Ice Cream – Top off your day at Typhoon Lagoon with an ice cream bar, soft-serve sundae, soft-serve in a cone, or a Sand Pail (“Chocolate and Vanilla Soft-serve Ice Cream, Waffle Cone Pieces, Oreo Cookie Pieces, Sprinkles, Hot Fudge, Caramel Sauce, Whipped Cream and a Cherry.

The dessert menu here includes milkshakes, ice cream sodas, Hand-Dipped Ice Cream in a cup or cone, floats, and a variety of sundaes including the Kitchen Sink that serves four and has 8 scoops of ice cream and too many toppings to list!

We Used Genie+ for the First Time. What did we Think?!

Back in June my sister, Sharon, and I took a girls trip to Disney World! It was a fun trip, and for the first time since it came out, we used Genie+. Today, we're going to share our thoughts about the experience.  What is Genie+?!  Genie+ is the paid for "skip the standyby line" option that replaced Fastpass+. It debuted on October 1, 2021 on the first day of the 50th Anniversary Celebration. This is what the Walt Disney World website says about the service, " Use the Lightning Lane entrances offered through Disney Genie+ service and save time waiting in line. On average, Guests can enter 2 to 3 attractions or experiences per day using Lightning Lane entrances, if the first selection is made early in the day." There is also a second option, Individual Attraction Selection. The Disney World site says, " You may also purchase individual—or à la carte—Lightning Lane entry selections for specific attractions that aren’t offered through Disney Genie+ service. Pu

We’ll talk about Enchanted Garden in our next Disney Cruise Line focused post! This week, though, we’re excited to talk about the third main dining room on the Disney Fantasy, Royal Court. Royal Court, like Royal Palace on the Dream, Triton’s on the Wonder, and Lumiere’s on the Magic is the most upscale of the three main dining rooms. Located right off the main lobby Royal Court is a grand dining room that celebrates Disney’s royal couples. Throughout the dining room there are mosaics of Disney Princess and their princes including Belle and Beast,  Jasmine and Aladdin, Tiana and Naveen, Cinderella and Prince Charming, Aurora and Phillip, Ariel and Eric, and Snow Wh
